Tourism Facilities

We know that events are gearing up for the winter season and Yorkton has the ame nities to host events of all sizes.

When it comes to hosting an event, wheth er it’s a business meeting, a major conven tion, wedding, or sporting event, Yorkton has the facilities.

“That’s one of the great things about a city like Yorkton. It’s small enough anyone com ing into an event can find their way around easily, but we are large enough to have a full range of quality services,” said Tourism Yorkton Executive Director Randy Goulden. Goulden said it starts with accommoda tions and food.

“Whether you need a room for a night, or fine hotels and motels,” she said.

“And our restaurants range from, provid ing burgers on the go as you travel, to those offering fine dining.”

“There are of course private areas in some of the restaurants for small meetings as well.”

When it comes to larger gatherings, that perfect wedding, or fraternal convention, Yorkton has the facilities for that too.

The Painted Hand Casino, SIGN on Broadway, St. Mary’s Cultural Centre, Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre, Land Titles Building and the City’s own Gallagher Centre all have spaces to accommodate gatherings from just a few intimate friends, to a high level busi ness gathering, to provincial conventions.

“We’re fortunate in Yorkton to have such a range of facilities,” said Goulden. “It has allowed the city to be the site of events from Pinty’s Grand Slam Curling and Sunflower Craft Show & Sale, the annual SUN con vention and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation convention.”

Should someone need a little help plan ning an event in the city, Tourism Yorkton can help there as well. They have a Convention and Event Planning Guide and a Wedding Planning Guide on their website; www.tour ismyorkton.com.

Easter Seals Snowarama

46 Years of Snowmobiling for Easter Seals

February 25, 2023

Join us for a weekend of fun and excitement as we rally to raise funds for Camp Easter Seal, Summer Fun, and Adaptive Technology Services; these programs increase self-esteem, self-determination, and independence for individuals experiencing disability in Saskatchewan.

Camp Easter Seal: This year will be Camp Easter Seal’s 67th season in operation. Over the years, so many people young and old

consider this wonderful place to be a home away from home.

As the only completely wheelchairaccessible camp facility in Saskatchewan, Camp Easter Seal provides a safe, fun and barrier-free experience to all campers who participate in extracurricular, recreational, and personal development activities. It is truly a place where campers can put their daily challenges aside and just have fun!

Camp Easter Seal is located at Manitou

Continued on Page 8

Continued from Page 7 Beach near Watrous. Boasting views of lush greenery, rolling hills and calm, it has been referred to as one of the most picturesque locations in Saskatchewan.

The resort village of Manitou Beach also has many amenities and activities happening during the summer for campers, staff or visitors.

Summer Fun: SaskAbilities recognized the need for more social interaction during the summer months for children and youth who experience disability. Summer Fun is aimed at fostering community inclusion, encouraging social skill development and increasing the self-confidence and selfesteem in program participants. With life enrichment as their goal, this program creates hope for children and youth who experience disability to have the same excitement and anticipation for summer holidays as every other child.

Each year the lives of young people are enriched by the Summer Fun program which is operated at the four SaskAbilities branches in Yorkton, Swift Current, Saskatoon and Regina.

Adaptive Technology Services: This program is dedicated to using technology to create opportunities and increase independence for people with varying abilities. If an individual can control one muscle function - like blinking their eye, turning their head or controlling their breath – we can apply switches to that movement to increase their freedom, choice and safety.

Environmental controls, communication

devices and computers can be operated with the push of a switch. That means that the use of alternative access through switches can enable someone with a physical disability to use a hands-free phone, operate appliances and remote controls, access a computer or use an augmentative communication device.

Individualized services including assessments, installation and training can open the door to a new world of possibilities for people with disabilities. The freedom to make choices and act on opportunities

Snowarama registrants raise a minimum of $150 in pledges to participate and will enjoy over 100km of beautifully groomed and marked snowmobile trails, complimentary meals, fuel, Snowarama swag, and a ticket to the Awards Banquet! There are also chances to win some fantastic prizes!

So much fun to be had at Snowarama! The weekend kicks off at SaskAbilities in Yorkton on Friday, February 24, with registration and a Beer & Wing Night. Come back Saturday morning for a delicious breakfast, then hit the trails for a great day of snowmobiling. The mid-way point will be at the Good Spirit Rec Hall at Good Spirit Provincial Park, where you’ll enjoy a complimentary lunch and fuel for your snowmobile. Ride back to Yorkton and join us at the Awards Banquet at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre; a delicious meal, awards, comradery, and fun!

Yorkton Exhibition Association

Another edition of Grain Millers Harvest Showdown is just around the corner.

The fall show dovetails nicely as the Yorkton Exhibition Association and Yorkton Chamber of Commerce marks Agriculture Week in Yorkton.

In recognition of Agriculture Week in the city, a unique brand was created which was made into a branding iron. To ‘kick-off’ Agriculture Week, the brand was symboli cally applied at a media event.

In 2021, assisting with the “branding” was Mayor Mitch Hippsley; Exhibition President

Len Malinowski; and Chamber President Marty Sveinbjornson.

Hippsley said marking the importance of agriculture makes sense locally.

“If it wasn’t for agriculture we just wouldn’t be here,” he said last fall.

Malinowski said it was just great to finally be on the eve of Harvest Showdown again after it was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID19.

“It’s just so nice to see Harvest Showdown back,” he said, adding the Yorkton Exhibition

an event like Showdown

just that.

While the Showdown is a big event for the YEA, Malinowski said it ripples throughout the city.

“Everybody benefits from this,” he said.

As for the annual Harvest Showdown in the city it returns Nov. 2-5 at the Yorkton Exhibition grounds, with many of the famil iar events back.

Of course an event such as Harvest Showdown is only possible through the sup port of many sponsors, starting with the nam ing sponsor; Grain Millers.

A highlight of the 2022 event will again be Professional Bull Riding (PBR), with Mazergroup back as the highlight sponsor for two nights of action at the Westland Insurance Arena.

Immediately following PBR head on over to the Prairie Oyster Bar & Grill to dance the night away with Lenny & the Gypsies Friday night and The Otherz Band on Saturday.

For those liking the big horses; the Arena will also host the Newton Landscaping Chore Team Competition, as well as the Yorkton Tribal Council stock dog competi tion, J-Mack Sandblasting ranch rodeo, and the SaskTel Horse-Power Showcase featur ing the Dave’s Diesel heavy horse pulls and Yorkton Hyundai mutton busting.

Once again, the Agri Pavilion will host FCC Breeders’ Alley, the Heartland Livestock Services Futurity Heifer Show and the Cornerstone Credit Union Commercial

Cattle Show which features a variety of cattle breeds and top breeders from the local area.

And don’t forget the Commercial Cattle Sale in the GX 94 sale ring.

A Country Craft & Tradeshow located in the Flexihall will be open Thursday through Saturday so a little early Christmas season shopping will be possible.

The grain show is another returning high light.

Motus O-Prisoner of Tehran

March 28, 2023

Prisoner of Tehran, based on the book of the same name, is a unique collabora tion between Iranian born writer/speaker Marina Nemat and MOTUS O. This unique performance piece is a synthesis of theatre, video and storytelling that swims in a land scape of movement brushing the themes of oppression, persecution, survival and most of all HOPE.

After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Marina was arrested at the age of 16 and spent more than two years in Evin, a politi cal prison in Tehran, where she was tor tured and came very close to execution. She came to Canada in 1991 and has called

it home ever since. Marina’s book Prisoner of Tehran has been published in 28 other countries and is an international bestseller.

After each show a Question and Answer period will take place. Prisoner of Tehran has toured much of Canada including per formances to over 10,000 high school stu dents.
